    Unrelated to anything else you posted - I wish you would stop calling them simultronics - they are Simutronics - no L. Every time I read you typing something as basic as the company name incorrectly I have wonder what else you are wrong about. Edit: And looking at the HeroEngine website it...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    There was a period of time when Blu-rays first came out that they were still ironing all the format issues and even stand-alone players were able to be firmware updated. When I first got my PS3 it needed to be patched to play the newest Blu-rays I had purchased and then again to enable 3D...

    Everquest II

    Well - you don't really HAVE to have AoD to play all of the games content nor do you need a subscription to play everything up through end-game if you buy ToV. So you can get away with just spending the $40 for ToV and play everything for F2P and decide later if you want/need anything that AoD...

    Everquest II

    From what I recall the Beastlord class was part of the Age of Discovery 'feature expansion' and still isn't part of the core game. You can, however, buy just that part of the feature pack with Station Cash.

    Everquest II

    It hasn't. Anything over 3 tanks in a raid is worthless - even if they go reckless (which was supposed to make them more desirable as DPS) they pale in comparison to a well-played true DPS class.

    I guess that depends on whether you classify an arcade game (Super Mario) as a 'virtual world'. I, personally, don't. I think his observation is pretty spot on within the genre they apply to - so for MMO's, your first experience definitely colors your opinion of all subsequent ones - for good...

    Naw - it will be a tiny world with negative runspeed.

    EQ Never

    That is the feeling I got as well. They pretty much took any response that wasn't 'I hate guns' as a pro-gun/ninja stance and lumped them together to come up with the ratio. I don't recall what the other options were (I'm sure I can go look but I don't care that much) but some of those people...

    I don't really care about ninjas, I suppose. But I hate guns in a fantasy setting... too steampunk-y for me.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    This is something that can't be stated enough. For a stress test I expected to be moving through molasses simply due to the sheer volume of bodies around me but it was smooth as silk. That is with everything set to Ultra and cranked as high as it would let me go. Having been in a ton of...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    There are others that posted the they liked the game but didn't qualify it with the 'OMG I must purchase it!' portion. There are a dearth of posts on THIS forum that are mirroring your opinion at all. The fact that you found negative things on a forum that lives on posting negative things and...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    There were quite a few people on this thread alone posting that they felt it was worth purchasing after trying it. You had to bring in outside SA accounts to combat those as the majority here aren't seeing it the way you do. Go back and count them up if you feel I'm wrong. Also the old adage...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    I managed to play it for a couple hours (barring forced login server tests) and I have to say that I enjoyed what I saw. It feels very much like I would expect an ES game to feel like and looks good as well. I tend to play in 3rd person view and the over the right shoulder thing drove me...

    And they are pretty much guaranteeing that you won't be able to play the game in any reasonable manner during the test. They are going to reboot randomly and with notification, crank stuff up on the servers to put them under load, etc. If you are hoping for this to be a good chance to get a...
